"Nintendo Winter 2002" promotional booklet:

Multi-player madness hits Nintendo GameCube with Mario Party 4, which includes 50 all-new mini-games and multiple, fully-rendered 3-D game boards.

Nintendo's favorite bunch of characters is back; Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Koopa, Toad and the others have prepared several boards inside the Party Cube. By rolling the dice and taking part in mini-game antics, you'll compete for the prizes and prestige.

In this latest entry in the Mario Party line, you'll be able to take advantage of the all new Mini-Giant system, which will place items on the boards to make characters grow larger or smaller in order to access different areas of the game boards and trigger special events. A new Tag Battle has been introduced, allowing two-person teams to compete against each other.

Whether you decide to take on the computer or a group of friends, Mario Party 4 is sure to be a celebration for all ages.

Mario Party 4 is the wildest multiplayer get-together Nintendo has ever thrown. 1-4 partygoers compete in 50 all-new mini-games that will excite and entertain the entire family.

Nintendo’s all-star line-up is together again in the GameCube sequel to the popular Nintendo 64 Mario Party games. Mario Party is back, with all-new Mini-Games and even more mega-fun; so grab your friends, choose your favourite Nintendo all-star and get ready to battle your way through a four-player party across new and exciting 3D game boards.

Join Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and their friends in the biggest party ever on the Nintendo GameCube. Earn special birthday presents inside a brand-new Party Cube for Mario and the gang, but finding presents won’t be that easy, as players will have to battle each other out in over 50 new mini-games!
